Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis have claimed an attack on two Saudi oil tankers transiting through the Red Sea.

Axar.az reports, citing Al Jazeera, that Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said on Wednesday the group had targeted two Saudi oil tankers, Encelia and Layla, for violating the blockade decision issued by the armed forces.

The Saudi Press Agency reported that the Encelia had been hit, citing an official source at Saudi Arabia’s Transport General Authority. The source said that all crew members were safe.

“These attacks constitute a violation of international laws and conventions that guarantee the safety of commercial vessels and their crews,” the SPA, which did not provide details on the claimed Layla attack, said.

Saree said that the attacks were carried out, “using a number of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones”, and led to fires on the ships.
